roadblock
Sort:
stopping for today -- have lost ten in row now -- so time to stop -- have lost something -- can't see the board now at all -- same moves as before when i was winning -- but losing now over and over -- so time to regroup -- will wait to book comes in guess -- read up on a new start maybe i will come back as a new player and see what that does - bye all and thanks
sunday morning - went badly as usual -- three losses one draw one win -- all due to major blunders on my part -- some i got away with early only to have them come a bite me on the rear later---- i can tell when i play a better player now - over a weaker player in how they move the time they take to move each piece -- something i never noticed before -- good players take th same amount of time on each piece -- bad players go up and down on the time scale -- most times i lose to both types -- but its nice to know -- since i can't talk to them to know who you are playing well will try a few more games before honey due list comes into play and have to quit till just before lunch -- good news is that my meds have been reduced again so i only need them right before bed -- so now only a small afternoon nap -- not a complete sleep -- more time to play -- signed up for a some girl 1500 score giving class lessons -- she seems to be ok -- a little confusing -- meaning a little to fast in her explanations both speech and ideas --but she is young i guess around 17 - and so i have to learn to bend -to her style of teach -- it's like using your phone to pay to everything - instead of cash- i just got used to using my credit card now i my son and daughter and my granddaughters all say i have to switch to using my i phone to pay for things -- -- i like cash---- the feel of it-- in your pocket when you have enough to fill a money fold or clip ( mine is from binions in las vegas - chrome steel with a binion silver dollar $100 value coin chip on the outside) - then peeling it off to pay for something - always large bills on the outside small bills on the inside -- just to keep them guessing --hahahah - been a while since i could do that --but then i don't really go out anymore -- my nightlife days are over( going to the legion on for the sat. afternnoon meat draw fund raising sessions doesn't count as going out ) and most things are delivered to the door -- still like to use money for a tip -- i then know the tip is going into the pocket of the intended - tipping apps make me wonder ? are they really getting the tips as intended ?
well back to the games - for two three 10 min sessions and another coffee this one has to be decaf (god they taste bad )(any one found a good decaf ???)-- orders from the commander in chief-- lower the intake of caffeine--
sunday night a couple of wins in a row and one loss played better at least saw more moves ahead this time -- slight improvement ----- off till Monday morning now --as meds kicking in getting sleepy and i know not to play then
monday morning not so good -- three losses two wins- and lots of aborts (5) -- wish people would play when they click to play - its so time consuming and frustrating to have to wait well couple more games before i have to walk the dog -- and then due honey due list things -- see before lunch time
monday late afternnoon -- noticed a trend developing with me-- play registered and lose 3 out of 4 games -- play unregistered and win 3out of 4 games hummmmmmm ?- so i should stick to unregistered play for a while and get my confidence back - well i never had confidence in the first place -- but it nice to just say that phrase anyways --
when i play registered lately most players at under 130 score --seem always have to tell me in chat that they just started learning today or they are 9 yrs old or they are a grand master just fooling with me for fun with their other account etc etc e---- why all the deception ?????- is that what trolls are all about --that my granddaughter told me where online ??-- just don't get it -- oh well not so good registered play ---- so back to unregistered play where there is no chat and no deceptions and maybe a can win a few in a row before my afternoon nap.
i'd probably stop just playing and playing and playing and do tactics for a bit, because it seems like you're losing because of blunders
thanks for the advice i do like puzzles and do them once in a awhile they don't seem to work to make me better or lose less they are just another form of the game which i like to do
having said that i just lost 4 out of 4 games Tuesday morning -- unrated games - which i am starting to like better - - even though there is no chat or ratings -- i will try a few more games in rated then move over to puzzles not sure if "tactics" is a separate game ??? for rest of the morning. chesstempo is that another site ???
well off to the another list on the fridge "honey due list" only couple of items so will be back soon
wednessday afternoon - lost as many as i won so even play i guess --need to work on my ebay store for a while have a few items i need to list so i will see you late tonight maybe better luck then
friday morning two draws and a loss will play one more game then off to due honey due list will be back at noonish --- played ok up till moves 40 in two of the games poorly in the loss one
having a bad afternoon -- just got charged 296.49 for avast software that i did't order-- and having spent over 2 hours on the phone still having no success in cancelling this charge - they and about a hour ago refunded me 77.96 but a still have against my paypal account the rest -- this is causing me to over drafted in my other accounts -- next step i guess i wait till business day is over and if not back into my account will be to contact paypal or visa -- just don't know how to do that yet -- this is causing me extreme stress-- iam a pensioner and limited income and with these withdrawls against my visa account from paypal and avast -- i will cause some of my other bills to go forfet and not get paid --
as usual its a off shore help centre that the rep. barely made any sense in english - so the real problem of what i want never gets addressed ----- glad my meds will be kicking soon and i can stop worrying about this for 2 hours or so--
i calmed down since my bad experience with Avast and their crazed off shore reps - when i woke up from nap i won two games lost two games -- so even -- maybe i do better tomorow
Saturday morning three losses in roll all badly played by me except last game - i just gave up snow is falling and driveway needs shovelings before i get to weak so will be back at noon maybe i can turn this day around and at least stay neural
good Sunday morning all -- went out for dinner at a nice restaurant last night first time in two years -- was lovely for the most part --- great view of the detroit river food was good but service was terrible but you can't have evrything -- and bill was high -- but hey - it wasn't a food court -
coffee in hand med taken ready for chess for a couple of hours - till i have to get at honey due list -- as the Spielberg movie saids -" ready set go"
four in row wind this morning time to stop while iam ahead i guess -- must be lucky morning off to hiney due list early back at noon or sooner
monday morning one win one loss -- will try in few minutes when i get coffee maybe better results--
monday afternoon late - two losses and one draw not so good***** all end game blunders****
will try again tonight after supper maybe things will turn around for the day
